Book Club Reading Blog

We are reading different novels in our book club. Each of you has been able to select a book of your choice from our library available, all of which I have previously read. Many of the books have also been recommended by fellow students to the group for reading. There is no set reading pace, but each week we meet for one lunch (Fridays) and discuss our books with each other. This blog is also to allow you to post in writing your experiences so far with your individual books. I post my blog on the book I am reading weekly (Wednesdays), and then you each add your own blog entries on Thursday of each week. We can all access this blog from home or on the school network (with my own editing access of the blogs before they are published only if needed). Books are a variety of genres, both non-fiction and fiction. Some books are adult fiction/non-fiction as well, and have been previously read by me.

***Please remember some other students may be waiting to read your book, so try to be careful not to give away any spoilers if possible...***

-Remember that your audience may not be reading the same book, so try to remember they might need you to explain a bit to help them understand what your are writing about

The blog code is always: Would what you write be appropriate to say in school?

Please post your answers to these topics
